Fozzy / Duke

Dec 12th 2004
Ryhthm & Brews Club
Chattanooga Tennessee
 
About 10 mins ago Rob and I returned from  Tennessee after going to see a Heavy Metal band named FOZZY.
Now don't get me wrong I am not a Heavy Metal fan at all, but my dear friend Michael Martin has just joined this band
and wanted me to see the show.  Well I dont think I have had so much fun at a concert.  I did have to wear my ear plugs for sure
but this band were outstanding. !!!!   Read all about them here http://www.fozzyrock.com  Their stage show is just something else, so alive
with action and power music.  I decided to stand at the front of the stage and take photos of this very photogenic band, and I am so
pleased I did. 
 
The Duke aka Rich Ward has his own website too at http://www.thedukerocks.com/index.html Make sure you check out his
  IF you ever hear the band are playing near you, I highly recommend you go see this
very entertaining band. They sure make you smile.
Good Luck guys on your European tour.
Lucy

Tony will be producing the new John Mayall CD in January 2005.
